2+2 poster Aaron Brown wrote a couple of articles on Monopoly from a quantitative analyst viewpoint. Interesting reading.

Isnt Monopoly entirely luck based? I mean you pretty much buy up every property you land on until they are gone and hope that you got the best ones. Then build houses and whoever has the best property in the end wins.

People wont stop gambling. They will continue to go to casino's. They will continue to play poker.

Regarding the play of Monopoly you mention, the exact thing is said about poker - by people that don't understand the game.

We should not even be talking about this. The last thing the emerging Monopoly market needs now is multi-tabling 2+2 poker pros dominating the present fishtank.

We all know how the downfall of online poker started, and it was here. Online Monopoly needs time to grow the schools of fish before they are all swallowed up.

Not to mention the infiltration of multiple account bonus whores depleting the start up capital of the fleggling sites.

So lets just stop this thread now before to much pub comes this way.

This is actually a poker forum guys, not a site about monopoly, although I love monopoly an I´m more than thrilled now that I know that it can be played online for money.

No need to worry. Those articles hurt my brain enough so that I'll stick to poker, where my tenth grade probability pwnage is enough to win.

Still, that's pretty damn cool.
